The computer again, urk

[pegkerr]

We're not out of the woods yet. Rob's third attempt to fix the computer problem has failed. Everything seemed fine when he loaded up the new disk drive, but when he swapped the new drive (80 gig) with the old back up drive (30 gig), so that the new drive was the master rather than the slave, the new drive suddenly wouldn't boot. And what's worse, now the 30 gig backup won't boot either. This is the second time this has happened. He had searched both drives for a virus and hadn't found anything, but it could be our virus-detection software didn't find something that's on there. He's going to take both drives into the store and have them tested there.

*gnashes teeth* God, I hope my data survives this debacle.

Aiee. Have you had Rob checked for anticomputer static or something?

I know money is tight, but it might be worth it to get a computer that works.

(I have forcibly repressed both Mac evangelism and help desk attempts. But if you want to hear, or want help desk, I can go on at length. Does it say anything when it doesn't boot?)

Rob is making Mac noises, too.

I am making we-don't-have-the-money-noises. This is sooooo aggravating.

The hard disks are at the store now, being evaluated by the tech department. Hopefully, Rob will know a little more tonight.
